so the bullshite among the media polls started in full force today to paint USC as not worthy of a host.

the phaggits at D1 (this is a real who's who among Gamecock haters) dropped Carolina from the T25 from being ranked 21 after 2 losses to #4 UTK. UTK retained their 4 ranking after losing 1 game to USC. Gamecocks were 2-2 on the week.

meanwhile Gonzaga also went 2-2 on their week and rose in the D1 rankings from 17 to 14. Gonzaga is 3-4 vs T25 teams this season.

NCSU jumped up 7 spots after a 2-1 record last week landing at #16. NCSU doesn't have a win over #1 Arkansas or #4 Tennessee anywhere in its resume - or a sweep over #13 Florida - 3 spots ahead of the wolfpack in D1's new rankings.

Arizona State jumped up 4 spots from 25 to 21 after a 2-1 record last week. ASU's season record is 32-17 with a RPI of 31.

both unranked UMiami & unranked Nebraska entered the T25 at 24 and 20. Canes lost 1 game last week and Neb apparently established themselves worthy after winning a series at Michigan. Nebraska is 0-0 vs T25 this season.

and then there are the Gators - who went 0-3 last week and dropped from 9 to 13 by getting swept at #1 Arkansas. Florida is 6-12 vs T25 teams this season Gamecocks are 7-14. Florida's RPI is also 5 spots lower than USC's.

as you can see - anything that can be done will be done to negate Carolina's excellent RPI - that stands at 14th best in baseball.

Do we deserve to host imo yes but I doubt we will. I see us being the #2 seed in the East Carolina regional and if I was East Carolina I would be pissed. I wouldn't want Carolina in my regional at all. Wouldn't be the first time we won at their place during the tournament.
